An exploitable arbitrary memory read vulnerability exists in the KCodes NetUSB.ko kernel module which enables the ReadySHARE Printer functionality of at least two NETGEAR Nighthawk Routers and potentially several other vendors/products. A specially crafted index value can cause an invalid memory read, resulting in a denial of service or remote information disclosure. An unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted packet on the local network to trigger this vulnerability.

## The many vulnerabilities Talos discovered in SOHO and industrial wireless routers post-VPNFilter
Since the discovery of the widespread VPNFilter malware in 2018 , Cisco Talos researchers have been researching vulnerabilities in small and home office (SOHO) and industrial routers.
During that research, Talos has worked with vendors to report and mitigate these vulnerabilities, totaling 141 advisories covering 289 CVEs across multiple routers.
Talos is highlighting some of the major issues our researchers discovered over the past several years, including vulnerabilities that an attacker could mostly directly access or those an adversary could chain together to gain elevated access to the devices.
There are several Snort rules that can detect possible exploitation of the vulnerabilitie

Vulnerability Spotlight: Two bugs in KCodes NetUSB affect some NETGEAR routers

[CRITICAL] Vulnerability Spotlight: Two bugs in KCodes NetUSB affect some NETGEAR routers
Dave McDaniel of Cisco Talos discovered these vulnerabilities.
### Executive summary
KCodes’ NetUSB kernel module contains two vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to inappropriately access information on some NETGEAR wireless routers. Specific models of these routers utilize the kernel module from KCodes, a Taiwanese company. The module is custom-made for each device, but they all contain similar functions.
The module shares USB devices over TCP, allowing clients to use various vendor-made drivers and software to connect to these devices. An attacker could send specific packets on the local network to exploit vulnerabilities in NetUSB, forcing the routers to disclose sensitive information and even giving the attacker the ability to remotely execute code.
